What is wrong with \stopintro?
by Robert Blackstone 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Dear all, One my project files, that In previous versions of the standalone mkiv compiled without any problems, doesn't compile in the standalone I installed recently (version 2016.07.18 16;26). It gives me an error warning hat I don’t understand: +++++++++++++++++ tex error > tex error on line 191 in file TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero <to be read again> \23>>currentnamedsection \popmacro ...m_syst_helpers_push_macro \endcsname \global \advance \lastname... l.191 \stopintro +++++++++++++++++ The processed file starts with: ++++++++++++++++++ \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no,alternative=middle,style=\tfa \bf] \startcomponent TD_Ch0-Intro.tex \intro[bookmark=,label=,list={Introduction},marking=,reference=ch:Intro,title={Introduction}] +++++++++++++++++++ and ends on line 191 with the error-causing command: \stopintro I should add that this particular file is input in the projectfile that also uses many others, like setup-files and .bbl's. It is however this particular file, TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex, that gives me problems. What can I do about this (other than compiling with an older version of mkiv) ? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Problem with the environment {\quotation}

Command line tool for macro definitions
by Henri Menke 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Dear list, For TeX/LaTeX users there is the neat command line tool `texdef` with which you can show the definition of a macro. Here an example: $ texdef -t latex section \section: \long macro:->\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \Large \bfseries } Is there something similar for ConTeXt? It is quite tedious to either grep the full source or setup an extra dummy document to use \show or \meaning. Cheers, Henri

emergency stretch not taken in account in some cases
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear all, In some cases specifying \setupalign[stretch] does not seem to have any effect with latest betas (live, 2016.06.20 22:14 version are fine, but 2016.07.18 is not), and the output has now overfulls instead of (admitedly a bit large) underfulls. Attached simple (albeit bit extreme) MWE. Sorry for the relatively large MWE but could not figure out how to make it shorter. emergency_stretch.pdf produced with latest beta (updated with first-setup.bat today). emergency_stretch_ok.pdf produced with 2016.06.20 22:14 version. Thanks a lot for any advise. Best regards Joseph Canedo

Go to odd page, use an empty page eventually?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, is there a way to tell ConTeXt "go to odd page, insert empty page to reach the next odd page" eventually? (IOW: When currently on odd page, break page and insert one empty (blank) (= even) page; continue on the next (= odd) page. When currently on even page, break page (and do nothing more) (and continue on the next (= odd) page). ) In the following example: ---- \starttext Page 1 \page[odd] %\page[odd,empty] %\page[odd,header,footer] Page 3 \stoptext ---- - \page[odd]: page 2 holds header and footer (unwanted) - \page[odd,empty]: adds one page with header and footer (unwanted), then inserts an empty page (unwanted) - \page[odd,header,footer] = \page[odd] Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

first-setup.bat weirdness II: xetex etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear syndicate, As mentioned in my other message, "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" I've now switched to the first-setup.bat way of updating. Two pieces of weirdness on the main machine: 1. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-en.mkii \dump makes vista complain: ===================== xetex.exe - Unable to Locate Component This application has failed to start because xetex.dll was not found. <etc.> ===================== Pressing OK, xetex crashes and things continue until 2. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-nl.mkii \dump Then the same error occurs. After xetex crashes things continue briefly till first-setup.bat exits. Everything works fine, except that every now and then the following happens when I run a file: ===================== This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. . <*> cont-yes.mkiv ? ===================== A fresh run of first-setup.bat makes the problem go away but it is annoying. After getting even more weirdness when cloning to another machine -- see "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" -- it seems appropriate to put this one out to the forum as well. Any explanations and advice would be appreciated. Never had these problems using when updating manually... Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Restoring/switching paper size?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, why this code doesn't restore A4-portrait for page 3? ---- \showframe \starttext Page 1 \page \adaptpapersize[A4,landscape] Page 2 \page Page 3 \stoptext ---- (I need to mix A4 portrait/landscape pages in a document...) When I need to switch to landscape for more pages (e.g. for long large tables; \adaptpapersize is not enough as it changes just one current page), is there something like: \pushpapersize \page \setuppapersize[A4,landscape] ... more pages ... \poppapersize Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
